Replace accessor implementation with direct member state manipulation, by

     1 A word to the wise:
     3 You must ensure that if your test finishes successfully, no processes have
     4 priority FOREGROUND_HIGH.
     6 If you don't do this, expect to see tests randomly fail with mysterious
     7 FOREGROUND --> FOREGROUND priority transitions.
     9 What's happening in this case is that your FOREGROUND_HIGH process lives until
    10 the beginning of the next test.  This causes the process started by the next
    11 test to have low CPU priority.  Then the FOREGROUND_HIGH process dies, because
    12 its iframe gets GC'ed, and we transition the new test's process from low CPU
    13 priority to regular CPU priority.
    15 Ouch.
